» Counting the Number of Values Between Upper and Lower Limits

Problem:

Finding the number of values in List1 (Column A) that are larger than 20 and smaller than 50.

Solution:

Use the COUNTIF function as shown in the following formula:
=COUNTIF(A2:A7,"">20"")-COUNTIF(A2:A7,"">=50"")
Or use the SUMPRODUCT function as shown in the following formula:
=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A7>20)*(A2:A7<50))

List1
30
10
60
40
15
55

Result 2

how would this formula change if you need to compare more than two things?

Hi alizok,

[QUOTE=alizok]how would this formula change if you need to compare more than two things?[/QUOTE]Personally, I wouldn't use that approach.

I would suggest using a sum array formula to make it easier to understand and make it more scaleable across multiple criteria.

See this post for an example (2 criteria but obvious how to extend):
